That’s what stood out in a chat Tuesday with a member of Padres ownership, Peter Seidler.

Seidler, standing near the home dugout during batting practice, made no excuses for the Padres’ 1-5 start.

No mumbo jumbo about injuries. Nothing about San Diego’s small media market.

Seidler grew up rooting for the Dodgers, but that shouldn’t be held against him. His maternal grandfather, Walter O’Malley, owned the team and brought it from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. Seidler’s mother, Terry, is the sister of Peter O’Malley, who also owned the Dodgers.

Tuesday, the Padres face the Dodgers in San Diego’s home opener.

“I can speak for myself and my brother and my two cousins who are down here – we love the Padres,” said Seidler, wearing a navy blue Padres shirt with a white SD logo. “We’ll be the hardest-rooting people in this ballpark today for a Padre victory.”

Peter O’Malley, who sold the Dodgers 15 years ago, wasn’t at Petco Park on Tuesday. He stayed in Los Angeles to attend the screening of “42,” a movie about Jackie Robinson.

Seidler said Peter O’Malley, 75, is an adviser to new Padres ownership, which includes four of Walter O’Malley’s grandsons. The main message: treat people right.

It may be some time, though, before Peter O’Malley adopts his relatives’ new favorite team. “We’re doing everything we can to get him in Padres T-shirts and baseball caps,” Seidler said.
